British Grain Trade.
LONDON, May 2-The Marx Lane En-
press, in it's review of the British grain
trade during the past week, says: There
has been a decrease in the delivery of ma
tive wheat, and the markets are scantily
supplied. This fact has caused an advance
from Cd to Is. Sales of English wheat for
the week were 53, 453 quarters at 32s Sd,
against 81, $50 quarters at 3ls Id the CORE
spending period last year. Foreign wheat
is stagnant and values tending downwards.
Corn steady. Linseed declined Cd. Eight
cargOes of wheat arrived, cargoes sold, 5
withdrawn, l remaining. At to-day s
market wheat was firmer. Values Of both
English and foreign were Cd higher. FlouT
